Investigations & recommendations

Geotechnical studies

Geotechnical investigations and foundation recommendations based on actual ground conditions, supporting correct design, predictable budgets and reduced construction risk.

Boreholes & testing Technical interpretation Bucharest & nationwide

Why it matters

The geotechnical study influences the foundation, cost and programme

Without proper investigations, design is based on assumptions: over- or undersized foundations, excavation surprises, water, fill or settlement that alters the budget and schedule.

A properly conducted geotechnical study provides real parameters and applicable recommendations, making design and execution predictable.

Deliverables

What we deliver

A geotechnical report suitable for design and construction, with investigations, interpretation and practical recommendations.

01

Investigation programme

We define the type and extent of investigations according to the site, building and objective (permitting / design / optimisation).

boreholes • samples • tests
02

Results & stratification

We present the ground stratification and relevant results where applicable so the designer works from actual conditions.

stratification • parameters • observations
03

Interpretation & conclusions

We interpret the data and formulate technical conclusions regarding behaviour, sensitivities, limitations and construction implications.

interpretation • conclusions • limitations
04

Foundation recommendations

We propose foundation solutions and construction conditions tailored to the project: depths, pressures and measures for water, fill or settlement where applicable.

foundations • conditions • construction

Designer support (optional)

Targeted clarifications and recommendations for design integration and technical construction decisions.

clarifications • optimisations • support

Method

How we work

From brief to practical recommendations: investigations, interpretation and clear conditions for design and construction.

01 Brief

Objective & site

We establish the purpose (permitting/design/optimisation), type of construction and site conditions.

project data • constraints • risk
02 Field

Investigations (boreholes & testing)

We carry out relevant boreholes, sampling and tests so the data reflects actual ground conditions.

boreholes • samples • tests
03 Analysis

Interpretation & conclusions

We interpret the results and identify sensitivities: water, fill, settlement and stratification.

interpretation • conclusions • parameters
04 Output

Recommendations & construction conditions

We provide foundation recommendations and conditions applicable to design and execution, plus clarifications where appropriate.

foundations • construction • clarifications

Risk control

Risks we address early

Good geotechnical work reduces construction surprises and eliminates design based on assumptions.

Incorrect foundations

Over- or undersizing that increases costs or causes structural issues.

impact: cost

Unexpected conditions during excavation

Unexpected strata, weak materials, fill or obstructions.

impact: deadline

Water / groundwater level

Influences excavation, stability and measures required during construction.

impact: risk

Settlement

Total or differential settlement that may affect long-term performance.

impact: quality

Design changes

Late changes caused by missing actual parameters, resulting in costs and delays.

impact: control

Unforeseen costs

Higher construction costs caused by ad hoc measures taken without a technical plan.

impact: budget

Real data Practical recommendations Predictable construction

Who it is for

Who the geotechnical study is for

Geotechnical information is a critical design input and a project risk-control tool.

Developers / investors Designers (structural / architectural) Industrial / logistics Residential / commercial Permitting / refurbishment

Frequently asked questions

FAQ - Geotechnical studies

Quick answers about requirements, duration, boreholes and what the report includes.

Is a geotechnical study mandatory for planning permission?
It is often required for design and planning documentation, depending on the building type and project requirements. We confirm the exact requirements after reviewing the brief and site.
How many boreholes are required?
The number and depth are established according to the building, area, loads and site conditions. We propose an investigation programme proportionate to the objective.
How long does a geotechnical study take?
The duration depends on access, the investigation programme and the complexity of interpretation. We establish an indicative schedule after clarifying the objective and site.
What does the geotechnical report include?
It includes the investigation programme, relevant results where applicable, interpretation, conclusions and foundation recommendations + execution conditions, including for water/fill/settlement where applicable.
Do you provide construction support?
Yes, we can provide clarifications and targeted support where site situations require interpretation or technical measures.
